Episode Synopsis

This episode offers a comprehensive analysis of two crucial financial metrics: Net Income and Free Cash Flow, explaining their distinct purposes and calculation methods. It highlights that while Net Income measures accounting profitability based on accrual principles, Free Cash Flow reveals a company's actual cash-generating ability, critical for investments and shareholder returns. The sources illustrate how non-cash charges, capital expenditures, and working capital changes create differences between these metrics, using case studies of major S&P 500 companies to demonstrate real-world applications and industry-specific variations. Ultimately, the text advocates for a dual-lens approach to financial analysis, emphasizing that understanding both Net Income and Free Cash Flow provides a more robust and reliable assessment of a company's financial health and strategic capacity.📚 Value Investing Books Recommendation————————————————————————Warren BuffettThe Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of LifeKindle: https://amzn.to/3FVasqyHardcover: https://amzn.to/3HIfeZ2Paperback: https://amzn.to/4kBjUOZWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements (by Marry Buffett)Kindle: https://amzn.to/43Vr5dDHardcover: https://amzn.to/4n6yNusPaperback: https://amzn.to/45XBBDL————————————————————————Charlie MungerPoor Charlie’s AlmanackKindle: https://amzn.to/3Zsw9VBHardcover: https://amzn.to/4jMExq7Collector's Edition: https://amzn.to/3SRgsn7Tao of Charlie MungerKindle: https://amzn.to/4nk0akTHardcover: https://amzn.to/44eq8ORInfluence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of PersuasionKindle: https://amzn.to/4619DqLHardcover: https://amzn.to/40a8TMiPaperback: https://amzn.to/40gtwq7————————————————————————Howard MarksThe Most Important Thing (Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor)Kindle: https://amzn.to/3Tqb4YgHardcover: https://amzn.to/3SRyy8APaperback: https://amzn.to/45ohdM0Mastering The Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your SideKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXPmbyHardcover: https://amzn.to/45X6AQqPaperback: https://amzn.to/44oPGYP————————————————————————Money PhilosophiesThe Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happinessKindle: https://amzn.to/3FDbO9uHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kL3TGiPaperback: https://amzn.to/44fpkcCLimited Gift Version: https://amzn.to/4jYomGpSame as Ever: A Guide to What Never ChangesKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXBJcpHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l7vPnoPaperback: https://amzn.to/4k2ZHReThe Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and HappinessKindle: https://amzn.to/4lx2a7FHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kGX5tfPaperback: https://amzn.to/3ZEMXsC————————————————————————Classic PrinciplesThe Intelligent InvestorKindle: https://amzn.to/45T9OEvHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l4f7W3Paperback: https://amzn.to/43ZNyXbSecurity Analysis, Seventh Edition: Principles and TechniquesKindle: https://amzn.to/442yKakHardcover: https://amzn.to/3TmEEhgMargin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful InvestorCollector Edition: https://amzn.to/4lrgWNd————————————————————————Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDeepValueApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-value-investing/id1811057697Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XDn2NMbbfvrJiqk9xAqR9?si=YsWJodQKS7CEMq5Twdh_8QDisclaimer: All analysis is based on publicly available sources and may be subject to revisions or differing interpretations.
